Villains who abusively treat animals and/or another animal-like species or have no care that their actions can cause the extinction of an entire species. They can also be Poachers who are willing to hunt a rare animal.

Editing note: Do not add animals into this category (Unless in extreme cases, if the said animals are anthropomorphic, and/or they are not doing it to survive) as animal-on-animal "cruelty" is normal and is a part of nature, such as a lion fighting another lion for mating season or a shark eating a shoal of fish for survival. The latter should go under Predators instead.
